About Me

FOR HOSTS:
I'm a CS veteran, 16 years in this community and so many unforgettable experiences and connections. :)

FOR GUESTS:
I DON'T LIVE INSIDE BUDAPEST
I live 1 hour + 10 mins from Budapest city centre by public transport, in a beautiful foresty, mountaineous area, a village of 800 people called KÓSPALLAG. This place is for nature lovers, people who like peace and quiet and a natural lifestyle. It's also close enough to Budapest for daytrips into the city, the last train back to here leaves Bp at 10pm.

BIO
I moved to the countryside 4 years ago, I live near a nice village in the middle of the forest in an off-grid tiny home. Many other eco-minded people live in this region.
I have been doing gardening and homesteading in the last years quite intensively, learning about self-sufficiency (or rather: community resilience). I'm a freelance translator and I used to run a small guesthouse. I studied social anthropology in the UK 10 year ago. I practice and study a shamanic dance therapy method called Movement Medicine.
I do yoga every day, I love adventure and leaving my comfort zone and of course a nice glass of wine. I love travelling, I've done a lot of couchsurfing and unconventional travels in the past 15 years, hitch-hiked through Europe a few times... etc.
